If we do that, can we make sure we keep a row of pixels all around the image so we don?t end up with a white gap between the frame and the image. This happens... and is sometimes hard to see on proofs ! In any event, it would be great to have such a script. Just a question : can?t this be made a feature into Scribus ? Cheers !
